Chapter 4 DVIP
DVIP is a Datavideo proprietary communication protocol that allows the ShowCast-100 to remotely
connect and control multiple Datavideo PTZ cameras such as PTR-10 MARK II, PTC-150/150T, etc.
To use this feature, you will have to first configure DVIP settings of the ShowCast-100 and the
connected cameras using the DVIP Configuration Tool which can be downloaded from the official
product pages to the PC. The DVIP Configuration Tool allows you to access and modify the device's
DVIP settings from your PC. Depending on your network environment, you can either connect directly
to the DVIP port using a fixed IP or via a router (DHCP).
In this chapter we will show you various features that the tool offers.

4.1 Setup

When new from the factory, the DVIP port is DHCP by default so connect the ShowCast-100's DVIP
port to the router via an Ethernet cable and connect the laptop to the same router as depicted in the
